LoveBox Festival 2015 - with Revlon UK (Part 1)

This year I was lucky enough to gain 2 VIP Tickets to the
LoveBox Festival 2015 held in Victoria Park, (East) London curtesy of Revlon UK – MASSIVE
thanks to Revlon UK for providing me with this once in a life time opportunity.
The festival runs over the course of 2 days and this year it ran from 17th
July – 18th July 2015 featuring acts such as Skepta, Ella
Eyre, Annie Mac, Jessie Ware etc

Doors opened from mid-day and the festival finished at around 10:30pm, so you really do get your money’s worth. They have everything from
flash tattoo stands, photo booths and clothing stands to food, drink and
cupcake stands! (That’s just the general admission section!)

“The
greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” Henri De
Toulouse-Lautrec

As I was fortunate enough to be involved in the VIP area,
this year they took inspiration from the wanders, adventurers, aristocrats and
vagabonds who infiltrated the gypsy neighbourhoods of
Paris in the late 1800s and imagine a vision of the future as they might have
dreamt it.There key selling point for
me was this “Expect the unexpected amid
the fading velvet, glittering mirrors and whirring cogs…” (The unexpected
and glitter bit had me hooked).

The experiences of the VIP include:

- An exclusive, extra-special programme of
music and entertainment all weekend with a different host each day- Access to the dedicated and decadent VIP area backstage, right beside
the artists and all of the action- Fast track entry to the Festival- Luxury toilets- Cocktail bar, entertainments and experiences

Since it is a festival after all, I took to Pintrest and
sought out hair inspiration and came up with probably the most un-imaginative
hair idea ever, fishtail braids going from the front of my hair either side and
joining at the back with the most bobby pins I've ever used but you guys have seemed to like it on Instagram! This was a simple look but it kept in place all day and kept my hair from being as bad as it could have been.

My outfit for the day was comfort orientated so my trusty Converse where an absolute must, followed my New Look dark wash denim shorts with a few
rips in for that real festival feel, a comfy easy New Look cotton black vest top with
gold zip detailing at the back, a very old New Look grey jumper to tie around my waist for after
the festival and big statement necklace and lips, my necklace is from H&M
and my lips where Revlon’s ColourBurst Matte Balm in Unapologetic, quite
possibly the most summery and bold lip colour ever!

There where so many incredible stands’ at the festival
and such a variety! From food to fashion to beauty!!! One of my personal
favourites was a little fashion/jewellery stand tucked away in the corner, this
little hidden gem had everything from clothing to jewellery to bags to beach
wear! There was also a glitter, gem and flash tattoo stand in VIP!! There was such a variety of stands and artists that everyone could find something they liked.

This
polystyrene mannequin was hand made using shattered mirror! And that was the
general feel of the festival handmade pieces and food, authentic and just very
unique in it's own right. No one person was dressed the same and each stand or
area was so unique to anything I have seen before, everyone who organised
LoveBox 2015 made sure that it would be a unique and unforgettable experience.
